You haven't lived until you.........?

[MatticusMania]

Shoot, that's the easy part. Living is when you go through a near-suicidal depression after having you're heart broken into a million pieces and then getting over it only after a long time and an addiction to opiates that you kick.

Also; selling your soul to rock'n'roll.

Ive been there, minus the opiates.

Living is when youve been through all that and you can still love.

And I dont mean "love" in the romantic-relationship sense.

i'd say that you haven't lived until you've realised how wonderful it is that you're alive.

what it takes for you to get there is another matter.

Glad to know I've lived well

Also I think being on stage is really quite the experience and a lot of people couldn't do it but it's quite the rush for us who do

Well, I did a few show and no, it is some stress but not really that awesome.

Maybe I'm already dead.

Until you've seen a woman mounted (in the biblical sense) by a donkey.

Alt 1

When you watch someone who is so high they don't know which way is up, open their scrotum with a single edged razor blade on a dare.

I beg to differ. I can live without either, thank you very much.

You haven't lived until you.......? Fallen in love. Gone to a Metallica concert.

Here's one for you, Kevin: http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2013/08/15/212277812/an-american-headliner-in-china-metallicas-shanghai-debut

You know it.

Perhaps one hasnt lived until they have died...

That would be my argument. Lived implies past tense for starters, but surely you can't really contextualise living until you've properly experienced not living.

 

[sjeverett]

seen Metallica twice(got a newsted pick first time) Have amotorcycle, never dont mom and daughter but had sisters and one was lesbian, fallen in love, besides.all that stuff i would say you've never lived till you've held your child for the first time or done something for someome in need knowing they could never do the same for you.

 

[Bassic Playing]

done something for someome in need knowing they could never do the same for you.

That's a good one.

A lot of these sound like I could achieve them when I go to college next year

Several thoughts ideas:

1. Dying to self is key, in my estimation. It frees one from the pursuit of the "things" of this earth, which are meaningless.

2. Being in stage and in the groove is definitely a rush!

3. Apogee. The furthest extent. Any experience that's important to you, stripped away of all dross, focused to its absolute essence. The extreme bleeding edge of whatever THAT is.

4. There's nothing I've experienced that brought me life more than my relationship with Jesus Christ, and holding my children in my arms. There's that special moment late in the evening or early in the morning when I'm in prayer AND holding my 5 year old son in my arms that just brings a level of joy, contentment and fulfillment like no other.

Stopped at a redlight.....opened the door, threw up the tacos you just ate. closed the door, and went on your marry way.

Sunday night gigs.....Gotta be careful with 24 hour taco joints kids.

You and your best mate have been refused entry to an underground Rock club (literally underground, under Tottenham Court rd tube), for being too drunk, so you go behind the Astoria and swap clothes in an ill advised attempt to bamboozle the doormen.

To help paint the picture, I am 6'1" and my mate is 6'10".
He looked like he was wearing a 7 year olds clothes and I looked like I was wearing my dads.

I think this has the potential to be the best thread ever! Lol..

 

[GregC]

Ridden on the space elevator

Seen Mr. Bean dressed as a woman

Figured out how a bicycle works

Visited Greece

Watched your sister give birth*


*I don't have a sister

This thread is going to add several months to my therapy. This absolutely changes my opinions of some. Others have been suspect.

 

[neo 7]

How about seeing the earth from the moon. Simply awe inspiring.

 

[odarellmc]

I can't believe no one's said this yet.

Hookers and blow.
Also, deep throating a ear of corn.

What??????

 

[Chainsaw Willie]

You haven't lived until you've damn near died!

I think this is it.
I had an experience where I was certain I was going to die. I had a few seconds to think about, accept it... and then I just got smashed up pretty good... But not dead.

27 years of issues, drama, and BS, got resolved in 5 seconds. I dropped a lot of burdens.

Yeah, or maybe I didn't START living until I damn near died!

If you did that on the way to your own wedding, I salute you, sir!
